I work out at Gold's Gym Pasadena. (Right outside Los Angeles for those of you in different parts of the world) Ronnie Coleman was there yesterday training, because the Ironman is here in Pasadena this weekend. I felt all weird asking to work in with him on the seat he was using, but it is the only upright seat that I like to use for overhead DB presses, becuase it is right in front of the heavy Dumbells. After seeing me stand in the background for about 3-4 minutes, he asks if I want to work in and I excepted. Him and his buddy, (who I did not recognize) were totally cool and encouraged me and offered me spots and shit.

Not all that exciting I guess, but he is Ronnie and I felt cool for a while.

That would be cool, great for motivation as well.

That's pretty cool bro

Not too often that you get a chance to train with a pro, let alone the champ.

Listen Sarcasm, I'm sure I didn't impress Ronnie, but I put up the 100lb. Dumbells for a good 6 comfortable reps right in front of him on DB shoulder press. I am willing to bet that it would impress your sorry ass considering I am only about 190lbs.

The major jist of this story is that Ronnie Coleman is the ruler of a major sport and I doubt Kobe, Peyton Manning or Barry Bonds would be so quick to allow some random fuck to join in with their training.

This doesn't surprise me.

Ronnie's a nice guy.

alexxx · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2006, 02:31:23 PM »

Thats cool bro! Did Ronnie also ask to use your weights for his extensions?

MCat · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2006, 04:52:17 PM »

No, but he easily could have. He is so fucking strong it is ridiculous. I negleted to mention that he was not on that seat doing presses. He was using it for concentration curls with 70lb dumbells. He was repping out like nothing.

Strong

alexxx · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2006, 05:18:55 PM »

thats ok.. for his size he should be doing the 100s

GET_BIGGER · « **Reply #18 on:** February 20, 2006, 09:55:11 AM »

Thats cool bro. Ronnie seems pretty tight.

jpeso · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2006, 10:46:29 AM »

Does he train with the same loose form you see in his videos?

MCat · « **Reply #22 on:** February 20, 2006, 07:06:49 PM »

kind of. He is going heavy even for him in his videos. During his training the other day he kept his weights in a somewhat manageable range so his form was better. I don't find his form to be bad, it's all in how you feel. Someguys like real slow negatives and a tight squeeze, some guys pump out reps like a piston. It's all relative.
